I love the idea of sound as a weapon -

I remember reading somewhere once that the British army once tested infrasound or ultrabass or whatever on protesting crowds in Northern Ireland. Apprently because a certain level of it can induce nausea and sickness ie; pretty hard to protest when your throwing up. What a dark image.

the americans used sound weapons in new orleans to control the crowds
this one http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4857417

there are all types of non lethal weapons http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_weapon

One nasty one that gives people the feeling their skin is burning, this is apparrently for crowd control, which seems far more likely to cause mass chaos.

I seem to remember that a favourite trick of Throbbing Gristle's was to use infrasound and ultrasound to make members of their audience vomit, shit themselves and/or pass out. According to legend, they once used infrasound to force some neighbours they didn't like to move, when they shared a house together in Hackney. could be bollocks, but it certainly sounds like the kind of thing they'd do.
